Perfect buffalo wings - Fry wings plain until they are crispy and golden brown. Mix Franks hot sauce with melted butter (to taste) in a large bowl. Toss fried wings in sauce. Serve on a platter with bleu cheese dressing. (I use about 2 sticks melted butter with about 1/2 to 3/4 of a 12 oz bottle of Franks.) The more cooked they are, the more they absorb the sauce and stay crispy.These are the best buffalo wings we ever had and the recipe comes from Chef Ming.

flour salt and pepper garlic powder...take mix and put it into gallon zip lock bag and place chicken in bag wet so flour sticks to meat

I would use something thick... we have tried different batters for different things.. veggies, etc... the key to this fryer is to not try to put to much in at a time. It's not a deep fryer that can put out a lot in short order.. it does a great job over time. We kind of use it like an appetizer fryer... a couple of things at a time..

Forgot to mention, be careful with the time you use when cooking anything. It may sound like not enough (from the booklet) but it usually is just right. If you let something stay in a little longer it will be crispier. I had a chicken in there and let it stay a bit more and it was alomost a total buffalo wing but still not dried out.

I reuse it once or twice depending on type of food I fried. I run it thru a strainer and refrigerate it. It's a nice little fryer for everyday use. If I was cooking for more than 2 people, it would be small. It's hard to keep things hot when frying multiple batches.

I have found that anything that you buy in a frozen state (french fries, battered fish, etc.) tastes amazing when cooked in the air fryer. If you make things fresh, add a little oil to the bottom and you'll never know you didn't cook it in oil. I love mine. I use it all the time - not like those other appliances that you get talked into that sit in the garage!!

I love this skillet. Yes, it would be great for frying chicken. I use it most every day. I have a gas stove and it pretty much covers two burners. I make Pad Thai, fried rice, and homemade corn tacos. It will hold 4 corn tortillas with ease.

Hi there, this is the second question I get directed to answer. I guess I'm becoming an expert in this :) Yes I've fried chicken in this pot (but more like in the form of stir fry with veggies). But just as a precaution, in my personal opinion I wouldn't do deep frying in this thing, why? because I personally use the pot in the center of my table, and if I do frying with lots of oil it's very likely that oil will sprinkle all over my table, table cloth, my small daughter, etc. So I try to keep frying with very little oil. Same applies when I do breakfasts (sunny side up eggs) I use very little oil. Hope this answers the question. Hi there, this is the second question I get directed to answer.

if you only use oil and don't have much or any additional liquid to generate steam, I'd speculate this is unlikely to work. Plus the presence of large amounts of steam is unlikely to contribute in a good way to crunchy fried chicken.

Never tried this unit for "southern fried chicken", but when I do prepare that meal I always turn up the heat a minute before flipping the chicken. Otherwise it has a tendency to stick to the skillet. Might be easier to go back to a skillet for "southern fried" chicken.

I used what the mix recommended. It's non-stick, but I checked with fork at midpoint and at end just to make sure. When batter turned into cake as fork showed I pulled it out of oven. It came out fine. Most important is to use a good amount of Pam on divider blades and everywhere else. Non-stick doesn't work as well as you'd think. Use/spray oil. If not its a bear to clean. I found out the hard way.

I agree that some reviews look fishy (as are some answers to your question). Yes, this is essentially a small convection oven, not a "fryer". You will get exactly the same results in a convection (or regular) oven.

can you cook with this oil? Like when fry eggs, etc (pan fry, not deep fry) I never had MCT oil before...

Yes you can fry other things besides a turkey and the cooking time depends on what you are cooking... Google would be able to let you know how long to cook lets say fish or chicken

Personally I would not...it is designed as a deep sauce and Fry Pan with quasi WOK capability. A Fry Daddy would be a better alternative. If you do Deep Fry it it heed the warning of not too high of heat setting. Certainly does a great job Frying Chicken and small batches of Fries but I don't think the intent is for Deep Frying large batches but that poses the question, "how deep?" If you are a party of one as myself certainly small Fry batches of Deep Fry are doable but it does have a handle so be careful. There are better alternatives for deep Frying IMO.

Hello Vonda, it is funny Amazon wanted me to give you feedback on biscuits, Just the other day when I looked in my pantry I thought about making them. The only differences is I was going to use Pamela's all purpose pancake and waffle flour(the flour in the yellow bag) I love Pamela's all purpose flours. Only one time did I have a total flop. Please let me know how your biscuits turn out, if you can.

Aely. In fact I am going to have dry rub chicken on the grill tomorrow. I did a marinated chicken a while ago. Both were just great. I try to make extra servings so I can use the left overs for another meal. or make the salads (such as chicken salad for sandwiches during the week). It is much less expensive than to buy cold cuts, much better flavor. and more healthy.Good luck. Jj

Yes you can. Wings and thighs are wonderful cooked in the fryer. The skin is crisp and the meat is juicy. I haven't tried cooking a breast so can't rate it's performance there.
